The Stuart SMP10 has been designed with safety and ease of operation in mind making it ideal for education. Temperature is displayed to 1-degree resolution. The temperature is selected, measured and displayed digitally eliminating the need for a thermometer.
Two samples can be tested simultaneously. They are viewed via a magnifying lens with clear observation aided by built-in illumination. Extendible back feet allow the unit to be operated at the optimum viewing angle. Full access to the block aids cleaning. The simple to follow instructions are printed directly on the instrument for ease of use.
To operate, select a plateau temperature via the digital display and press “start”. The unit quickly heats up and remains at the selected plateau temperature until the user is ready to start the test. Insert the sample tubes and press “start”. The unit then heats at a fixed rate of 2°C per minute. When the sample is seen to melt, note the temperature on display. Press “stop” to end heating and cool the block.
